Rex Peterson Holding Horse for Farrier

Horses should all have manners. The farrier has a physically demanding job and must rely on his clients to provide mannerly horses. This horse had an injury resulting in a bad experience which caused him to panic and not stand for the farrier. After 8 farriers refused to shoe him, the owner resolved to solve the problem with re-training and patience. You can see the process here.

@EpicBlueSpikes I know a few female farriers, they all seem to do just fine. Not all horses require allot of physical strength, just the ones that aren't properly trained.

@SteeveeDan im training to be a farrier myself, and although im told its a bloke's job by others, ive also been told im very strong for a woman, especially in this field of work.(no pun intended)

Patience is definitely the key. I've worked with allot of horses that no one would touch. It all boiled down to giving the horse time to understand that I was not there to hurt him and he could trust me. So far, I've always won. But sometimes, it really is a struggle!
